Bermuda Clippings

Yes or No to removing the clippings from a bermuda lawn. My lawn is looking great. I mow it 2 – 3+ (lawns fairly small not a problem) times a week removing only approx 1/4 inch per mowing. I’ve heard both are necessary.

bag them if you can- generally less problems with disease, etc.

Leave the clippings. As frequent as you cut they clippings should compost extremely fast. They will add some nutrients to the soil plus you avoid using up landfill space.

If you spot disease or insects then you should collect clippings for a few cuttings. Ted is on target for most but as frequent as you cut should be okay.
